Key frames atm

'Rachel' brightly lit to show her innocence in this situation, Kelly uninterested and on her phone in the dark to show her hiding the secret that she'll later reveal and Melanie looks scared and guarded and also in the dark to represent her darker side.



























Extreme Close up of Rachel's blooded nose. Blood represents death and danger. (foreshadowing)



























Rachel and Melanie close up, blacked out background. Rachel brightly lit to represent her innocence and Melanie in the darkness with a red glow in her cheeks, they're directly opposite to eachother to foreshadow the opposition and juxtaposition between the two.

All the girls brightly lit to show their discovery on the laptop, the coloured glow on their cheeks represent the glow of the sinkhole.


Blackened around the laptop and then a bright screen to grab your attention with the recognisable coloured glow in the corner to represent the sinkhole they've previously seen.

Focus is on Kelly as she reveals her secret.
Melanie looking very dark with her messy postered bedroom walls to represent that her mind is also messy and all over the place as she levitates the popcorn.

Location Report

The following pictures is the location I will use for my 9 key frames for my creative artefact. This location is ideal for my screenplay, it reflects perfectly the realisation scene for my sequel to Chronicle. This location is my bedroom, it fits my MACRO very well with being the representation of teenagers, the location represents Melanie, it lets the viewer see the real character and an insight into her personality, plus teenagers are always themselves in the company of eachother and in the privacy of their bedroom. The room is quite small so will seem like an intimate, quiet, secretive conversation between the 3 girls in the scene, Rachel McMullen (Briony Costanza), Kelly Robinson (Maisie Scarth) and Melanie Rose (Courtney Southern).

The room represents Melanie very well, Melanie being a quiet and shy person, very much in to listening to music and keeping herself to herself staying home and reading books, this room suites her guarded personality very well and gives us an insight into her character. Melanie's character will come through even more through costume and closed body language as will Kelly an outgoing and rebellious girl with a huge interest in fashion, Kelly will show her personality mainly through her attitude in dialogue and her uninterested body language. Rachel's a very feminine girl but is also very clever and interested in finding out information and learning this will be shown in the dialogue she has with the other two girls, her body language and her interest when researching the sinkholes.

The room will be illuminated through 2 pairs of fairy lights and a laptop that'll be placed in the middle of the floor and will be an essential prop in the scene. The glow of the laptop reflecting on Rachel's, Kelly's and Melanie's faces represents the glow of the sinkhole that they had found in a previous scene and also a very similar sinkhole to the one found and shown in the original Chronicle. The room will also be dressed with a pair of red curtains that will completely block out any sunlight from outside, so the room will be completely lit through fairy lights. The fairy lights give an insight into Melanie being innocent and pure against the fading white walls, but the red carpet and curtains symbolise a foreseeable death, therefore it foreshadows a possible death among the innocent. The room will also include many props including the laptop mentioned previously, a bowl of popcorn, 3 glasses of drink, notepads, pens, mobile phones and a couple of blankets.

The Location that I will be using will be my bedroom, it's located in Northfleet in Pheonix Parc estate very near to Ebbsfleet football ground.






You can get to the location in many ways, there are many buses running every 10 minutes to a bus stop that is not even a 3 minute walk to, it's able to drive to aswell and there are 2 train stations both a maximum of 10 minutes walk to.

There aren't many health and safety hazards with my location, but the location is in a housing estate but to get to the house, there is a very busy main road and you must use the crossing to cross in order for safe arrival. The bedroom is on the top floor and located not far from stairs, all people participating must make sure they're not running too fast or that there is anything on or above the stairs that is possible to slip on. The bedroom is on the 3rd floor of the house with a window, if at any point someone needs to open a window or be near the window they must make sure they're not leaning too far out of the window and not to fall out. Also, there will be glasses and a glass bowl on the floor when taking the key scenes, actors must make sure they don't kick or stand on glasses and cut their feet.
